Real Estate Photography | The Interior Scenes

A recent residential real estate photography session in the Pasadena Lakes Neighborhood, just minutes away from downtown St. Petersburg.

This home was nicely staged with furniture and decor which made it more interesting to photograph.

My client requested that I show the spacious feeling of this ranch style home and additionally show the abundance of natural light in the house and also feature the large, lush yard.

Balancing the interior and exterior light was critical.

To achieve the most pleasing feel and natural looking light, I mixed the natural window light filtering into the house through the windows, with the much brighter exterior light, a few lamps and ceiling lights found throughout the house to help create that lived-in look and, to tie it all together, I used strobe and LED lights very selectively and strategically placed.

As you see, I photograph multiple angles and differing views of most of the rooms. I do this to further enhance a viewer’s perspective of being in the house.

Enough said for the time being. Please continue viewing the other rooms and exterior of this residence below.

March For Science St. Petersburg | Tampa

March for Science | St Petersburg | Tampa FL April 22, 2017

I recently had the honor of doing some photography for the March For Science St. Petersburg / Tampa. This local march was a part of an international network of marches demanding acknowledgement of science as opposed to the oppression by the current White House administration.

If your not familiar with the March For Science movement, you might want to check them out. We are living in times where it is vital that we listen to scientist to help us find a way to maintain an inhabitable planet.

Here is a statement from the March For Science Mission Statement: “The March for Science is a celebration of science. It’s not only about scientists and politicians; it is about the very real role that science plays in each of our lives and the need to respect and encourage research that gives us insight into the world. Nevertheless, the march has generated a great deal of conversation around whether or not scientists should involve themselves in politics. In the face of an alarming trend toward discrediting scientific consensus and restricting scientific discovery, we might ask instead: can we afford not to speak out in its defense?”

March for Science | Featured Speakers

Dr. David Hastings

Professor Of Marine Science and Chemistry

“It’s not Republican. It’s not Democrat. It doesn’t vote red or blue or green. The data doesn’t care.”

Darden Rice | St. Petersburg City Council Chair

Dr. Karyna Rosario, Research Associate at the Marine Genomics Laboratory, US

High fives forDr. Karyna Rosario, a USF favorite and a very inspirational speaker.

“We cannot afford to jeopardize scientific endeavors, by censoring information and facts just because they might be inconvenient. As scientists, we are in the business of searching for knowledge, based on facts and evidence. And so should everyone. As a society, we cannot allow ourselves to think that it is okay to dismiss facts.” Dr. Karyna Rosario

Charlie Crist – US Representative of the 13th Congressional District, current member of the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology, and Florida’s 44th Governor

“This is a frightening moment but don’t get upset, don’t get depressed, let’s get organized, let’s get to work. A lot of us have thought this isn’t our job but it is we have to stand up we have work to do and if we work together we can change this. We can turn this around.” Dr. David Hastings

On-Site Photography For Business

This session of on-site photography was done for Cindy Scifres, LMT, CPT, and Certified Neuromuscular Therapist, whose healing arts business is located in St. Petersburg. Images were created for a website update.

Behind the scenes, before and after images can be viewed below.

There are many advantages of doing on-site photography for business, especially when you are needing to show examples of what you do, your environment, or to avoid having to break down equipment and have it moved and set up in a studio.

On-site business photography can have issues that have to be dealt with, space usually being the predominate one.

For example, while this room had more than adequate space for neuromuscular therapist Cindy Scifres to perform her treatments, it was somewhat confined for use as a photography studio. In spite of that, by using the proper techniques, skills, equipment, attitude, and preparation, we successfully made the conversion to a photo studio work.

On-Site Photography – Transforming Your Work-Space

The before and after images, show below, reveals the full view of the room to illustrate the transformation from a dedicated “work-space” to a temporary photography studio to create her on-site business portraits. While this room had more than adequate space (as well as a great feel) for neuromuscular therapist Cindy Scifres to perform her therapy, it was somewhat confined for use as a photography studio. In spite of that, by using the proper techniques, skills, equipment, and attitude, we successfully made the conversion to a photo studio work.

Gown Fitting | St Petersburg FL

I was not available to photograph this beautiful young bride’s wedding, however I was available to photograph her gown fitting. Of particular importance to her was to create a photo of her on the staircase in her grandparent’s house in St Petersburg.

The above image was photographed using mixed lighting consisting of natural window light, halogen house lighting and strobe.

Bride on the stairs in grandparent’s house in St Petersburg… √.

I also suggested doing a little close-up portrait imagery of her Mona-Lisa smile. For these images, I used window and bounced window lighting.

Posed portraits are only a part of my wedding photography coverage. Check out my candid and editorial / documentary wedding photography at my Wedding Photography Gallery.
